When It's Night-Time in Italy It's Wednesday Over Here

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

Oh the onions in Sicily

Make people cry in California

How high is up

I'd like to know

How low is down

And when will we have snow

If you talk to an Eskimo

His breath will freeze your ears

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When it's wash-day in Picardy

They're eating ice-cream cones in Georgia

Sixteen and four

Makes thirty-one

Take eight from five

And your day's work is done

There are people who hesitate

But corned beef make them cheer

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When it's Christmas in Albany

They're catching fish in Scandinavia

That's right, you're wrong

You're wrong, that's right

Though the days are long

It's always cool at night

If you can't play a piccolo

The holidays are near

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When it's night-time in Italy

It's Wednesday over here

When they're dancing in Omaha

The girls don't wear no tights in Jersey

My brother Lou

Likes oysters too

Magazines are read

But China cup is blue

Should you order some ham 'n eggs

By the time that they appear

It'll be night-time in Italy

And Wednesday over here
